The Witcher 3 Artist: Driveclub’s Weather Was a “Huge Inspiration;” Has “Fantastic Weather Effects”, Review Copies out in the Wild

The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt Visual Effects Artist Jose Teixera who worked on a lot of the weather effects, in a recent interview with DualShockers explains that CD Projekt RED had a source of inspiration for the game’s weather effects.

Aaaaahhhh thunder (now I’m stuck playing AC DC in my head)! Short answer – yes and yes. We do have thunderstorms. The majority of them you’ll see far away, like in real life… however there will be some occasions where you’ll have lightning close to you! But only in some special moments, for added drama.

Driveclub has fantastic weather effects, they were a huge inspiration for us! Again, the ideas for the future keep pouring.

Added drama is good, as are spooky moments that keep you at the edge of your sit. Definitely can’t wait ro go through a thunderstorm.

It appears that review copies have already been received as can be seen in the tweet below of Gamespot’s Kevin VanOrd holding a copy of The Witcher 3:
